    Solution

    The correct pairs are AD, BF, and CE. AD: A establishes the subject of the sentence: India, which is the world's largest democracy with more than 1.3 billion people, and D tells us that the country is eager to attain the status of a leader of emerging nations. The adjective KEEN in D forms the subject complement of the noun INDIA and is used to describe the nature of India's ambition. "India, the world's largest democracy with a population of more than 1.3 billion, has been keen to position itself as a leader of emerging and developing nations." BF: B tells us that there is a new form of diplomacy being established in Beijing. F says that the chief founders of this new form of diplomacy have a nickname to match their style. The noun phrase A SUITABLY FIERCE NICKNAME in F will form the object of the verb HAVE in B. "There is a new brand of diplomacy taking hold in Beijing and its chief architects have a suitably fierce nickname to match their aggressive style - they are the wolf warriors." CE: C tells us about the need for developing and using human resources in our diplomatic establishment, and E tells us that these human resources comprise consular and junior personnel, while also stating the purpose of developing and using these human resources. The noun phrase CONSULAR AND JUNIOR PERSONNEL in E can form the object of the preposition OF in C. "We should develop and use the total human resources of our diplomatic establishment, including those of consular and junior personnel, in the pursuit of our international objectives." Thus, A is the right answer.
